One of the simpler ways to get from "outside" Applelink to the link world
is:

linkaddr@applelink.apple.com

(where "linkaddr", is a known Applelink address like D2012 which is mine)

I've found that an additional hop or two is involved cos it zips over to
sun then to stanford, however the advantage is that you don't have to
munge with putting an address in the Subject line at all.
